Gynecomastia
is a condition in which excess breast tissue is present
in boys or men. It comes from the Greek word meaning women's
breast ( female breasts). Gynecomastia occurring in teen
aged boys is often a temporary problem which improves spontaneously.
In others, this condition persists into or occurs during
adult life. Many males having this condition request surgical
correction. Prior to 1990, this usually required excising
the excess tissue through a half circle incision at the
lower edge of the areola.

The
advent of ultrasonic assisted liposuction (UAL) and special
cannulas (hollow tubes) has made it possible to remove both
breast gland and fat through very small incisions, thereby
eliminating the need for a half circle incision in most
patients. Thus, scars are smaller, healing is faster, and
the risk of contour irregularity is reduced. Dr. Davidson
is well know in the scientific community for his original
contributions in the treatment of gynecomastia, especially
for a method of removing excess skin (when necessary) with
minimal scars.
